Monitoring, evaluation and review are essential to effective humanitarian action (see Fig. 7).
This section helps you to use existing health information systems and data sources to evaluate and improve CAH response. It will help you to:

• Create a monitoring and evaluation plan
• Improve health information systems.

This section builds on the previous sections on coordination (action area 1) and assessment and prioritization (action area 2), and will specify how you evaluate the activities in the response (action area 3). Use the self-assessment progress tracker (Annex 1) to assess where you and your team (or organization) currently are, and track your progress over time.
